What's happened to the Format of the Forums

[Mike Johnson]

The Forum seems to keep changing its format, very difficult to navigate now, lots of text in the dropdown box's and the top banner scrolls up with navigation so notifications are not visible until you scroll back to the top, definitely not an improvement IMO.

All seems fine now for me on Android phone. Much better, cheers.

exactly ...does my nut...

Too much text showing altogether for me.
Much prefer a list of the thread name only without so much of the latest post on show. Forever scrolling down to the next .
Agree about the notifications, too.

I feel as though I'm at the funfair, the screen updates every minute and tends to zip back upto the top newest posts. However, not as sleepy as some websites....

The snippet of text it shows in forums has been shortened so there's less of it but it's still showing you what's in the thread before clicking it.

Is that making it better?

Keep me informed and I'll change some settings for you. The forum software has been upgraded and we were a few digits behind so it's just a case of flicking a few switches

TilersForums.com has lost their smilies - trying to recover them today so they're suffering there oops. lol

Dan in essence we don't need any text, its sufficient that some text appears when you hover over the title, the main pain is having to scroll all the way to the top to find additional notifications after you have been into one already notified because the black top banner disappears when you scroll down.

Try that now.

The text is staying but I've managed to move the what's new to the bar that scrolls with you.

Good job Dan, can live with the rest for now.

Miles better. Well done. Realise it must have been a pain.

Thank you very much. That worked, so as far as I've noticed, everything is back to normal for me.

not for me. the bar with pm's and notifications disappears after a second or so.

So you don't get this bar?

Can you erase your Cache and reboot device then try mate? Sounds like it's just a local copy not playing right.

Reply count seems to have disappeared now.

It is there just in a different place. The views are next to an eyeball and the replys are next to a return arrow.

• no eyeball. i get the orange banner but the blue bar above it goes in a sescond or 2. sometimes it comes back if i repeatedly press the back button. also my alerts pop up then disappear and i have no option to send a pm once it's been typed.
